18. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
I believe history shows over the ages that individuals want power and to have control over others. Our Constitution has three branches of government which are designed to make it near impossible for an individual or group to take power and control our country.

20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
My personal belief is that abortion is not an option. Many others have other thoughts.
21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I believe there is one God, who sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to die for my sins so I, as a human can have eternal life, if I accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I have determined my life and choices need to demonstrate to other people what Jesus Christ has done for me. I am not to judge the way other individuals live their lives, as that is between God and them. I do however strive to live a Godly life, to be an example to others.
